40 Pa. Commw. 85 | Pa. Commw. Ct. | 1979
Opinion by
JoAnne D. Simet (Claimant) appeals from an order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Review (Board) affirming a referee’s denial of benefits by reason of a determination that Claimant’s discharge from her employment was due to willful misconduct within the meaning of Section 402(e) of the Unemployment Compensation Law, Act of December 5, 1936, Second Ex. Sess., P.L. (1937) 2897, as amended, 43 P.S. §802(e). It is uncontested that on Claimant’s last day of work as a cashier at a retail produce store, she redeemed $20.00 worth of coupons for cookie mix from one customer, her brother, even though she knew that each coupon was stamped “one per customer.” Claimant contends that the findings of fact of the Board are not supported by substantial evidence and that the Board’s finding of willful misconduct constitutes an error of law. We disagree.
The single contested finding of fact was supported by the testimony of the employer’s representative. Troyen v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 34 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 445, 383 A.2d 975 (1978), and Rodites v. Unemployment Compensation Board of Review, 34 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 128, 382
Order
And Now, this 24th day of January, 1979, the order of the Unemployment Compensation Board of Beview, dated July 11, 1977, denying benefits to Jo Anne D. Simet, is hereby affirmed.
